Myself and my partner have just returned from a 3 day stay here , we were in Barcelona to see the Grand Prix and the hotel came as part of the deal.Our initial concern after arriving was it was rather out of way from the city centre but after finding the metro station 5 minutes walk from the hotel we discovered we could be in the city centre quickly, we bought a 10 journey ticket for 9 euros and is well worth it the amount of times we used the metro over the 3 days.The hotel is clean and in a quiet area of the city, the girl on reception was very pleasant and checked us in quickly and efficiently.Our room was quite basic but clean and did the job, the only down side to the room was it was right next to the lift and vending machine so was quite noisy!Breakfast was mainly continental with scrambled eggs, all self service, juices , fruit, toast , cold meats and cheeses, pastries etc again it was included in our package and we found it reasonable, the waiting staff were pleasant and the waiter makes a mean mojito!Just a couple of small points, we missed not having tea and coffee making facilities in the room and also found it strange that the bar closed at 11pm this is pretty early for a city hotel.Overall we enjoyed our stay here.

Room Tip: Our room was at the back and looked on to a grassed area, it was next to the lifts and vending machi...

Just returned from this hotel where we stayed pre and post cruising. We found the hotel receptionist very welcoming and accommodated us by checking us in early after our cruise and remembering us from the previous week. The rooms were comfortable and well looked after by friendly staff and the food both for breakfast and dinner was excellent and good value. The rooms are not large but well equipped for tourists and business customers who are out and about during the day. I would certainly return and would recommend this hotel for superb value and service.

Room Tip: Front rooms overlook the sea and back overlook a paved quadrangle with trees.

This hotel is located in a smart residential suburb,approximately 3 miles from the Placa Catalunya which is Barcelona's main square. We chose an out of town location to avoid the noisy night revellers, preferring to be in the city by day and in a quiet, seafront suburb by night. It's a very pleasant (not to say healthy) 45 minute walk to the harbour and Columbus Monument at the foot of the Rambla, Barcelona's famous avenue. This walk will take you past dozens of restaurants, marinas and small bars as you pass 5 beautiful beaches.

The hotel is mixed bag. It faces the sea, across two busy dual carriageways, but the hotel is so well glazed that there is no worrisome traffic noise. It has 177 rooms distributed over two buildings. The front is a single storey affair with (as I remember) 50 rooms, 25 of which face the front and have sea views. Otherwise all the others look out onto a green quad where 3 sides are residential blocks. The rear building has (again, to the best of my memory) 7 floors; and the hotel's only two rooms with a balcony are sited on the top of this building. We were first allocated a room on the fifth floor which was like a shoe box. We asked for a change and were given a room in the first building, so just one floor up, and facing the sea. This was all done at once, with good grace, and the 15€ daily supplement was waived. Thus, my firm advice is to pay the supplement and book one of these sea view rooms in the first building. It's well worth it.

The general ambience is that it's a commercial hotel (lots of business people/conference attendees etc.), clean and functional, a bit bland with a rapid turnover of guests. We were there just 4 nights and it was not unusual for 40 guests to arrive, dine and leave the next morning.The reception staff were courteous and efficient rather than warm and friendly and I have to say they were hopeless at offering tourist advice. For example, we asked where we could pick up the Autobus Touristica and quite accidentally found a stop just yards from the hotel having been given tortuous directions that would have taken us 20 minutes. There's a comfortable bar area and a very reasonable restaurant where we ate for 3 of our 4 nights. However, the Table d'Hote menu changes just once a week which we've never encountered before. We were there in April and this may change in High Season. But the food was excellent and at 15€ for three courses and a large glass of wine and bread it's terrific value. The buffet breakfast was very good as well.

The servers were delightful-here there really was the kind of warm and friendly service that you might expect in a more conventional holiday hotel where people stay for one or two weeks. Finally, we love to shop and there is a superb shopping mall (The Forum), with a number of eateries, just 10 minutes away.

myself and my granson have just returned from 4 nights at thia hotel, we went with The Travel Department, which we have used before, so we had no say in where we stayed. The hotel was a good bit away from the centre of things, but that was ok as it was only 2euro on the Metro to get into the centre of Barcelona. The hotel itself was a let down, the breakfast area was to small, and the food was always cold. Imagine cold scrambled eggs! The rooms were small but overall the hotel was clean. It was very warm in the rooms, and when i asked why the air conditioning was not working, i was told they only have it on in the summer months! It was so hot in the room that on two nights we were unable to sleep. Also on their website it says that kettles are in the rooms, but there not. This is only an average hotel worth at the most 3 stars.

Room Tip: Rooms with a sea view cost an extra 15 euro a night, and are at the front of the hotel

Thank you very much for leaving your comments, it is always helpful to know what our customers are saying. The hotel has a central air conditioning and heating, and seasonal changes as well as the date you visited us was not yet appropriate to the central change as time usually varies oltra mucho.Esperamos that time there have no problem and can enjoy their stay.

This hotel is located in a newer area a few kilometers outside the city center of Barcelona, but the tram and bus within a maximum of 10 minutes of walking, makes the city easily reachable.

The beach is just across the street, and the area has quite a few restaurants and shops within a few minutes of walking from the hotel. There are also a couple of playgrounds for children nearby.

The staff is nice and friendly and the rooms are nice, clean and relatively spacey. My room had a huge bed, double closet, a working desk and a couple of chairs, and a also nice bathroom with shower and a big tub. The down side is that the desk is placed in the darkest corner of the room, with no possibilities of light, and that not all the rooms have cold storage/minibar-possibilities.

Internet is available both wireless and through cable. The wireless is quite unstable, but the front desk is handing out cables upon request.

You may experience some noise form the neighbor rooms or the streets, but unless you are a very light sleeper, it will probably not cause any problems.

We have just returned from a three day trip to Barcelona staying at this hotel. On arrival Hector and Manel greeted us and were very helpful and pleasant. Our bath did not work and we happened to just mention it on reception and immediately we were moved to a sea view room. Brilliant service! Breakfast is good with a great choice of food and unlimited, breakfast is served from 7am until 10.30 am - a very good time span. This is predominately a business hotel, having said that there were several people staying via Groupon deals and lots from Japan, Holland etc, And all walks of live.We had a wonderful few days and

We are really looking forward to returning to the Front Maritim soon!
